Cinedigm Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources

Wizard World has partnered with online content distributor Cinedigm to launch a digital channel targeting fans of comics/pop culture conventions.

As described, the channel will offer sci-fi, fantasy, horror, gaming and animation content using a business model that blends advertising support and premium subscriptions. The latter will provide exclusive access to “exclusive access to the events, panels, talent, and fans that make the Comic Con experience so exciting.”

“This is an exciting day for the fans of pop-culture around the country,” Wiazrd World CEO John Macaluso said in a statement. “To have 24/7 access to all the content that Cinedigm and Wizard World provide collectively provide, at the touch of a button, provides tremendous value for our fans.”

Wizard World, which is scheduled to host 16 conventions nationwide this year, is compiling panel coverage that will premiere on the as-yet-unnamed channel.
